Bug Description

I am unsure how the feature "adapt to system" for theming works, but in XFCE does nothing regardless what theme is being selected. What is the app looking for?

How to Reproduce

Change the theme to "adapt to the system" in XFCE.

Expected Behavior

Sync with the system's theme. Either use the system's theme or use dark/light variations of the app's theme.

Operating System

Arch Linux with XFCE - kernel 6.1

AppFlowy Version(s)

0.3.3

Screenshots

No response

Additional Context

No response

This has never worked for me either. I think this has to do with the way Linux desktop environments tell what the current brightness/theme mode is. I think there's issues in the Flutter repository regarding this.
